[The prevention of bacterial endocarditis].
The paper examines the prevention of bacterial endocarditis in risk patients undergoing outpatient treatment. The hypothesis of possible bacteremia provoked by either diagnostic or therapeutic surgery should be carefully assessed. For this purpose antibiotic prophylaxis should be commenced, using different methods and doses according to the type of patient, in association with hygienic and behavioural norms which the specialist will recommend and monitor.
